The Blaine And Logan Campaign Of 1884 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Blaine and Logan Campaign of 1884: Blaine's Speeches During the Canvass, and Some of His Public Letters, Including the Letters of Acceptance; Gen. Logan's Letter of Acceptance, and His Addresses to the Veterans The turning point of the great campaign was reached when Burchard delivered the address, now infamously celebrated, in which he used the alliterative phrase Rum, Romanism and Rebellion. Had Blaine understood the remark he would have replied to it then and there, but he never heard it, and when he recognized the deadliness of the moral poison, the antidote of his eloquence at New Haven came too late. The battle was lost by a mere accident. Six hundred more votes for Blaine would have decided the struggle in his favor. The Irish defection from the Democratic party more than offset the Mugwump defection from the Repub licane. It was the most extraordinary revolution recorded in American history.
